It was once a working class neighborhood, but its crumbling buildings are being transformed into stately homes. Strolling through the labyrinth of alleyways in the Trastevere district allows you to catch little gems of a vanished past. Foreigners take pictures of the clothes hanging from one apartment to another, so suggestive are they. A walk in Trastevere alone is worth the trip to the Capital. And this is true for everyone, not only for those who see it for the first time.

What to see in Trastevere: bordered on two sides by a bend of the Tiber River, the district of Trastevere in Rome should be visited strictly on foot, perhaps wandering aimlessly and stopping every now and then to take pictures, have a coffee and enjoy the cuisine of Rome in one of its historic restaurants. It takes at least a full day to see the main attractions of the neighborhood: the Basilica of Santa Maria in Trastevere, Villa Farnesina, decorated with magnificent frescoes, and Palazzo Corsini, which houses an art collection of exceptional interest. In Trastevere, map and routes cross nature and history, at will. You can end your visit with a walk in the botanical garden or by facing the climb to the Janiculum. Going up this hill, stop to admire the Tempietto del Bramante. In the evening, the bars of the district serve abundant aperitifs. Many of these places are concentrated in the narrow streets around Piazza Trilussa.
